The research area Theoretical Philosophy gathers academic employees, researchers, PhD candidates and students working within the fields of metaphysics and epistemology from a theoretical and problem oriented perspective. Research in this area is especially occupied with metaphysical problems of perception, consciousness and cognition as well as epistemic problems connected to self-knowledge and perception. Several members of the staff also relate these problems to introspection, possible worlds, scientific explanations, theory of science and aesthetics. More information on the web pages for each staff member.
